We had a match in the Conwy estuary this afternoon, we spread out over most of the Conwy side, and I chose the mouth of the narrows towards the beacon.Unfortunately I seem to have chosen the nursery area where the baby ones learn to be flounders. I had six undersize, and four just big enough along with a little sea scorpion and to cap it all on the last cast I had a codling 2 cms too small.

Sounds a good session to me, wouldn't mind a sea scorpion or two this year. Didn't think you could get them in estuaries, live and learn!

We do get a few in the Conwy, here`s one I had a few years ago even further up the river behind the castle, this one`s a short spined.

Nice one SQ,I've often wondered if it's worth fishing the river when it's a bit rough at sea.I know it's a very healthy river fishwise higher up,do you think dropping a line in from a boatwould be a good idea?Any idea what species are prevalant?

It`s probably the best estuary for boat fishing, but the tide really races through on the full flood or ebb. There are flounder there all year round , plus codling and whiting in the winter and eels and bass in the summer. I`ve seen the occasional good sized plaice and coalfish in the past and there are always mullet up and down the river, but a lot of time and heartache can be expended trying for those !

Thanks SQ,it's another venue I will give a try.We've launched a few times at the marina,but usually go round the Orme.The sandbanks on the way out toward the bibbing tunnels look like they would be a good place to fish.We had a look up the river one time,but never fished it.Looking forward to the new season.
